As designers of interactive systems (spaces, process and products for
people), we find ourselves stretching the limits of methodological
structures that enable us to explore, build, communicate, and prototype
experience.  We argue that designing experience requires a Œre-dressing¹ of
methodological practice, and that HCI can benefit from drawing on
methodological frameworks that traditionally fall outside of its purview.
Domains such as performance, theatre, dance, architecture, conceptual
design, industrial design, and visual art each contain rich knowledge and
rigorous methodologies for constructing experience.  Each of these domains
defines experience, experience qualities and attributes, and defines
affordances for enacting [and re-enacting] experience as a fundamental
methodological tool.
 
We invite participants from multiple disciplines across and within HCI,
including kinesiology, performance, visual art, architecture, anthropology,
organizational research, computing science, visualization and engineering.
Participants are expected to be practitioners exploring unique
methodological frameworks for designing technologically mediated experience
